Kyle

“Prince Ephraim! Lead us to glory...”
—Kyle's death quote in The Sacred Stones

Kyle (カイル Kairu) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones; he is an intensely loyal and intelligent young knight. He is very devoted to Ephraim and is a fierce rival, yet also best friend to Forde. Their rivalry seemingly started out from a tournament, in which he was defeated by Forde, which made him start focusing on his training to never lose to him again.

Very chivalrous and proper, Kyle is a classic knight much like Kent from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken. His devotion to his status as a knight has him come off as a little too serious for some, although he learns to loosen up during conversations with Forde and Syrene. After the war ended he became a battalion commander for Renais, and is able to marry either Syrene or Lute in his support endings.

In his B support conversation with Forde, it is revealed that Kyle has a sister named Mia, who married into a well-off Frelian family. In his A support with Syrene it is learned that when she gave him a carved figurine of a pegasus knight he started to collect wooden figurines. This is also mentioned in his A support with Lute.

Kyle is a good unit. He only tends to lag behind in Skill and sometimes Speed, but can improve with Supports. His strength growths rank among the fastest in the game. If you are willing to level him up through the Tower of Valni (or by a similar method) he can overtake Seth only halfway through the game as the strongest Paladin. A few chapters later and he can go toe-to-toe with Duessel as a Great Knight. His defense also becomes quite high, making him effective at boss battles and absorbing damage.

Sometimes, the greatest friends also differ greatly in personality. When Kyle and Forde returned home, they were celebrated in song and story. They lived their days in happiness, as dearest friends and toughest rivals.

After the war, Kyle and Lute were married in Renais. Kyle's friends were disturbed by his choice of brides, but they could not deny his happiness. Before long, they had a son, and Kyle dedicated himself to his upbringing.

After the war, Kyle visited Frelia, where he was greeted with a warm reception by Syrene. After the two retired, they were wed. They raised a daughter whose skill in martial arts and etiquette excelled.
